PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with Driveline.

The blocks have an edge nib that allows for surface stability. But it also creates voids where surface water can easily run through to a special sub-base.

We work in Newton plus these local areas and more:

This system allows surface water to slowly be released back into the surrounding environment, a process called attenuation. Modern sewers or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. Permeable pavement and SuDS balance the situation, allowing ground to absorb, store, then slowly release the water in controlled ways – just like a big soakaway.

Geotextile, a permeable fabric laid to seperate sub-base from ground, allows surface water to filter through and not lose sub-base to ground. It can also act as a weed barrier which can increase surface’s load bearing capacity and lifespan.

Block Paving can be used to improve any commercial or domestic garden. You will also have a well-designed walkway for guests, family, and staff members. We stand behind all of our work.

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sand has no moisture and is totally dry. It also has a fine texture that makes it perfect for packing block paving blocks. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like concrete. This reduces the chance of people slipping on the surface. It also eliminates potential damage that water could cause if there is no drainage or water pooling.

Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. The driveway’s quality will be affected by any changes in the concrete beneath the block-paving. This may make it more complicated to replace a damaged one. Concrete cracks can become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the driveway. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. Over-pressure washing your driveway can damage the sand, which holds it in place. You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.
